BRUCE MCEVER SIGNED COPIES!

Dear Special Invitees,

A vibrant independent literary community is essential and helps foster creativity and independent thinking. C&R Press supports our authors with advantageous contracts, distribution, award/contest nominations, and marketing. We bring the highest quality in poetry, fiction, essay and nonfiction, and take risks on experimental and cross genre work, too. C&R is conscious and responsible. We strive for diversity in thought, experience, and feeling, paying particular attention to submerged population groups and voices. Help support C&R Press by investing in our authors. These limited autographed books (only 50 copies!) will help raise money and allow us to host more events like the Bruce McEver Book Release Party at the National Arts Club, Bruce McEver at Poet’s House, and our annual flash reading party at America’s largest writer’s conference, the AWP Conference. Thanks so much for your interest and for supporting literature!

Warmly,

The Directors
John Gosslee and Andrew H. Sullivan

Like Lesser Gods explores themes of loss in a way that deals with the mortality of personal relationships, the realization and search for deeper meaning. The poems are traditional and contemporary, but a strong reminder of what’s important in a quickly changing world.

HYPE

These are fine poems of hard truth. They are mature and thoughtful. They are the poems of a mature man who has lived, loved, and suffered. That is to say they are deeply human poems. We should all be grateful for the grace revealed by these remarkable words.

–David Bottoms

“Although quiet, Bruce McEver’ s poems are driven by strong emotion and love of the world, while the events in the poems and descriptions of nature are set out in exact detail. Like Lesser Gods has many moving elegies, loving descriptions of relatives and friends who have died; but the one event that contains them all appears in the poems that describe the death of a marriage, which can be painful to read: the betrayals, falsehoods, infidelities and, in the end, the speaker’s attempt to get beyond the heartbreak to find that a new life must begin with forgiveness. This is a brave book: a book for grownups.”

–Stephen Dobyns
